It's not Ghandi, it's Moby....

I thought it was Otto!

Thanks for the kind words. This isn't me. It's Otto... a friend of mine. ;)

He looks like he has been partying all night. Lol.

This wonderful guy lives at our summer ranch in Colorado. It's kind of a long story, but my wife and I found him while hiking on one of the back trails. He was just a baby... sickly and almost dead. We nursed him back to health over many months. After he was healthy enough we drove him far away in our beat-up old Jeep and set him free. Amazingly, he was able to find us again and to this day he never goes very far away from our property. We decided to name him Leland.

Actually, everything I just said is a complete fabrication. None of it is true. We have no ranch, no Jeep, and I'm pretty sure my wife and I have never even gone hiking together. The true story is much less interesting, so I'll spare you the details.

Sometimes it's fun not to know things, because you get to make up whatever you want!

I am making this a favorite.
Not only is this a wonderful photograph, but the story is entertaining too. ;)

Nice colors, subject and vintaging. The main problem with this photo is lapse of white on the head and back of the goat!

BTW, You have made a great site... it is pitty that there isn't a lot of photographers!

this is me, testing comments...nah, just kidding.
Seriously, this is a great shot. Very Blade Runner!

Heh... thanks for the comments everyone.

Cheers.

Wonderful !
Love the ambiance, the texture, the frame... everything !

...
amazing

bravo

That is the highest compliment I can ever receive.

Looks definitely like a picture for the latest Scissor Sisters record :)

Very beautiful non conventional portrait.

Strange and cool!

Oh my, is this a self portrait? The blank look on your? face kind of creeps me out - no offense!

Kudos on holding still - those eyes - so crisp yet empty, almost like a robot...!

The glare gives it a sci-fi look.

This is wonderful Brandon. You caught that little sparkle in his eyes and the LB created a nice soft vignette.

He looks like a wonderful guy, Also a powerful portrait Brandon

Really strong capture, great dynamism and character; it's refreshing to see a LB image that doesn't shout out that it was used.

Love the texture and the grain!

Overall this image has an incredible tonal range. This is what classic b&w photography looks like. Great job. It makes it even more interesting since Photoshop is being used. Do not have to do much in Photoshop to make a great image !

I also like it!

Yeah, I agree there is an element of mystery. However, I think the foreground is a bit too heavy. The distortion of the blur is a little overpowering, but I do love that funky lime green tone.

very good shoot
i think, me too, the fourground is too important in the photo. But it's still a beautifull photograph

love it. Great

I'm typing it here, because I don't see any 'reply section' so I don't know if you would get the message.
So, you were looking at a whole bunch of young plants in plastic pots with tabs to hang in a hot-house.

You are doing quite something for photography I want to add. That is if we're talking about the same Brandon Stone.

I'm still thinking the way images get posted on Vazaar. Very good principal, but still trying to get used to it. But then again, I'm only about three days young here so...

PS: still working on an own blog to go for photobloggies one day. At the moment it's aminus3 and onexposure.

Nice frame Brandon... I'd love to see it in colour.

Wonderful shot!

Great b&w. Just stunning!

Excellent!

wow.. its perfect!

mmmmmm chocolate liquor

Great find Brandon.

Hah! Hey thanks everyone.

Mmm, my kind of station! Nice find.

There should be one on every corner. Wonderful.

It'd be more popular than Starbucks!

I like the decay around the door frame,
and the nice stonework.
I know the graffiti makes a statement in itself,
but it is a sad statement to me.
Oh,and the full mailbox is a cool catch as well.

I like this one a lot brandon! Think the grain is just perfect for this kind of photo. Great choice of coloring, too.

yepo - fantastic, just fantastic !!

Ater all this time... I don't really understand how it works, but it certainly gives hope. :O)

This reminds me of a sci-fi 1930's Utopia gone wrong! Quite an arresting image. The only thing I might say is the single cloud trail going up to the left seems slightly at odds with the rest of the image.

Yeah, a bit futuristic and retro, at the same time. Like Captain Sky and The World of Tomorrow. Great angle and scenery, good noise effect on the sky. Just a bit grainy than the buildings, some balance is ok.
Great image, indeed.
